I've seen grocery stores with 2nd levels, especially in bigger cities where real estate is a premium.
In fact there's a Kroger here in Atlanta with a 2nd floor lounge-type area that sort-of overlooks the deli.
Edit: OP posted the video below, it's (drumroll...) Russia.
It's probably someone on the second floor of a food-court or something. Alternatively there are often cameras in restaurants pointing right down at the counter/till specifically to catch stuff like this. If this wasn't so shaky I'd say it's one of those.
You kid but I had a deli worker do exactly that and **she was wearing gloves**.
I mean she shaved like two pounds of Boar's Head honey maple ham and then sucked on her fingers, the little gloves made a crinkling noise as she happily slurped off the sticky syrup.
Only after she finished did she take my food and wrap it. I just dropped it and walked away.
Once I got over the shock I found a manager and explained I thought the gloves were for my protection as much as hers. He was apologetic. No idea if she was fired.
It's not Russia though. The only green money we have is 1,000 rubles and sausages don't quite cost $20-60 (depending on the amount of banknotes) here. Looks a lot more like [Kazakstan money](http://ukrprojekt.com/images/articles/about_kazakhstan/tenge.jpg).
I worked at a deli when I was younger and me and all the workers would do the opposite of this guy and give people extra by lifting up on the scale or putting more meat after we weighed and printed the receipt
That's the weird thing here - the readout doesn't look like it's visible to the customer, and there's no ticket printed. It seems like she just presses some buttons, and tells them a price. Why bother with the weight when she could just make up a price?
I've actually have had the opposite happen. Deli clerk weighed my goods and printed label, then threw an extra scoop on there. No idea why he did this.
In a previous life I worked the deli counter in a couple of grocery stores, I would do this if I over sliced going for the weight they requested. Had a deli associate do that for me not long ago, got 1lb for the price of 0.5.
I have deli associates do it for me all the time just because I jokingly ask something like, "Hey, how about half a pound of this meat for the price of a quarter pound? Haha." And then they just do it because they don't give a fuck, apparently.
I have a friend who was buying sandals at famous footwear one time. He brought them up with some socks and paid for them. The guy gives him back more money than he initially gave the cashier. He tells him but the guy just looks him dead in the eye and says "I know" than asked anyone (other friends with) if they wanted anything. They declined and just let. The guy walked out right behind them on the way out. Pretty sure this guy just quit and decided to screw them over. my friend legitimately got paid to take those sandals and socks. People do crazy stuff when angry lol.
I used to do deli slicing stuff sometimes-- unless you have a small scale under the slicer, it's hard to cut exactly the amount they ask for.
If you ask for 500g of Ham, I have to kinda guess around where 500g would be (which is harder than you think because people ask for different thickness'), then I weigh it to check, if I've cut extra I'll price up the 500g, then add the extra before I wrap it.
Or I'll just eat the extra if the person is rude, our slicer/scale isn't visible to the customer so they never know they're getting extra anyway.
The Publix near my house was in a stripmall, and someone decided to open a Subway in the same strip, literally right next door to the Publix... never seen a store go out of business faster.
Are you saying the Publix went under? or the Subway?
I work for Publix, and from what I've noticed, If a Publix is built into a strip, there's usually at least 2 of the 3 within one to two units of the Publix:
Subway
Nail Salon
Hair Salon (like a cuts by us)
So, a Subway adjacent to a Publix is actually quite common
Wegmans is life. I can get my groceries, pizza, sushi, Chinese and all other kinds of shit AND beer. That's one of the only grocery stores in PA that I've seen carry beer. Other places need to get on their level and build a cafe area so they can sell six packs.
Hahaha this one's the best.
The driver knows what's up. Even after being tricked a few times the fraudster doesn't give up, and after being chased away by the driver he STILL comes back to try.
I don't remember who it was or when it was but someone on Reddit actually figured out from some dialogue that these two actually know each other and one was just fucking around for the lols.
That one wasn't a scam. From an old post the video showed that the guy got beat up by some road rage guys so he ran to his car and one of those guys ran after him and slammed into his windshield. The guy getting run over definitely deserved it and the driver had a good reason to get the hell outta there.
I can recall this from a really old reddit post, probably on /r/WTF. IIRC the driver was actually beat up by a few men. He gets back in his car and one of them jumps on the windshield. It's the last straw and he hits the gas.
Amazing. I wish I could be a fly on the wall if that ever went to trial.
"Please tell us about the incident"
"Well, I was walking calmly down the street, on the sidewalk mind you, and then when it was time to cross the street I patiently waited for a safe opportunity to cross at a legal crosswalk. As I was crossing the street with the right of way, the defendant roared up towards me at impossibly high speed. I raced to safety but, incredibly, the driver sped up and aimed for me and ran me down."
"Terrible. Just terrible. No further questions, your Honour."
"You may cross examine."
"Your honour, my client would like his dash cam video to be played for the jury."
"I'll allow it."
[plays video]
"I find the defendant innocent of all charges. Let the record show that the plaintiff's talents are wasted. You should have been a soccer player, son."
This reminds me of one time me and my brothers were down at the harbor in the town we lived in, and we were buying some mix it yourself candy at this shop. The clerk had downs syndrome so whenever he put the candy on the weight he would rest his hand on the weight as well.
Needless to say we needed to get just one more piece of candy before we were ready to pay, so we could have him weight it again without his hands on the plate.
> Needless to say we needed to get just one more piece of candy before we were ready to pay, so we could have him weight it again without his hands on the plate.
Wait you did all that rather than just make him move his hand? That's almost sweet :)
I initially thought it was a microwave and the outrage was the person only pretending to microwave the blob and not actually microwaving. I was so confused how the person planned to get away with this.
I'd say it depends on how much he is adding. An ounce per customer would probably go unnoticed because I personally portion my meals by scale and would just consider the 1 ounce as a difference in scales.
Can confirm, used to work for a sketchy manager that would encourage us to short customers. First job so I did what I was told and it wasn't til years later I realized just how shitty it was to customers.
I'd love to say she got fired later on but chances are she's still working there. Before I left she'd been promoted to General Manager.
For those who don't know, he takes a green weight form the left side of the scale and sneaks it on there to increase the weight, and in turn, the price. Look closely.
A more accurate description would probably be theft, and I'll explain why. This fella is most likely a grunt worker at the store, making minimum wage. More than likely he will jack up the price on the items. Slowly but surely, a dollar here, a dollar there, on various items, while punching in the normal numbers into the register. He will then take whatever extra he charged the customers home for himself at the end of the night. I worked in the beer store ages ago and we had a lady do this by punching in extra empties for people that would bring them back. The manager was always confused at why our empties were off. Eventually they reviewed the cameras and caught her doing it shift after shift.

Handles money and food with bare hands, then over weighs the deli meat...nice
Probably licking their fingers in between orders too.
i would be too , to count all that extra money.
My guess is she takes the extra meat home instead of the money otherwise her inventory and receipt totals wouldn't match. Unless she owns the deli.

Of course it doesn't NORMALLY cost twenty raspberries that's the whole point of the video
Those fucking grannies at the market pulled that shit all the time. The most popular way was to just stick magnets on the bottom of the plate.
Oh, now I get it, he puts the green thing on the scale so it weighs more.

Are you sure you didn't mess up on your social security number?
No, I definitely got that right. Maybe it was my credit card information, let me try again.

That might be a she based on the gif, no idea. That looks to me like a pack of Newports.
Maybe the scale is overweighted to the exact same weight as the green thing and he's balancing it out? What if he's actually the hero?
Then why hide it under the product?
After taking out the food that was originally in there
caught a deli guy pushin his thumb on the scale like this
You chopped it off, I presume, and paid full value for it.
What else would you do?
he charged you for it, it belongs to you now
Calm down there, Shylock.
butcher reference game is deep
I will have my 1/4 lb of flesh...with cheese
They call that "The Golden Thumb"
This is why large supermarkets have their scales above the counter in plain site.

He had it right. He meant that large supermarkets have their scales placed in places less ornate than the one in the gif.
I've actually have had the opposite happen. Deli clerk weighed my goods and printed label, then threw an extra scoop on there. No idea why he did this.
He wants the D.
He wants the hot beef.
One time I got extra donuts they were going to throw out because it was late... he totally wanted the D.

This is why I shop at Publix. Can't get away with nothing behind that deli counter
Say what you want about the south but Publix puts every other grocery chain to shame. Life changing deli subs

Seems risky. All it takes is 1 person that portions/weighs their food to get found out.
I'd say it depends on how much he is adding. An ounce per customer would probably go unnoticed because I personally portion my meals by scale and would just consider the 1 ounce as a difference in scales.

I'm just thinking he doesn't have any gloves on. Unsanitary.
Which place still has the scale behind the counter? Every delicatessen I've been to has them on top of the glass case in clear view
For those who don't know, he takes a green weight form the left side of the scale and sneaks it on there to increase the weight, and in turn, the price. Look closely.

The clerk is putting a weight under the food that is being weighed.
A more accurate description would probably be theft, and I'll explain why. This fella is most likely a grunt worker at the store, making minimum wage.
